A lot of cloak and dagger went down at this unassuming cafe. This is where Walt first meets Lydia to get the names of Mike's "nine guys" who are in jail, who Walt promptly has killed. In return for the names, Lydia convinces Walt to manufacture Blue Sky for her clients in the Czech Republic. Walt is quick to notice that Lydia always sweetens her chamomile tea with Stevia. But an unlikely love blooms when Todd begins to meet Lydia at The Grove in Walt's absence. He obviously has quite a creepy attraction to her, much to Lydia's distaste. When Walt returns from New Hampshire, he storms into one of Todd and Lydia's meetings, he offers them a million dollar deal, which is only a rouse to poison Lydia's Stevia. The Grove Cafe and Market is an actual place located at 600 Central Ave. SE, Albuquerque, NM 8710, and was used for filming. Aaron Paul also frequented The Grove for his daily caffeine fix.
